Spent a wonderful week in Aberdeen during a heat wave. It was like July in Santa Cruz, CA. The bartender in the pub just around the corner from our AirBNB was from Modesto, CA.

I hope that she does not run again. Not with that loser energy. You impeach because he did the high crimes and misdemeanors, not because you have removal “in the bag”.

Politics is the art of forcing the votes "there." You do that by ratcheting up the pressure through relentless accountability.

"The votes aren't there" is cowardice masked as savviness. There has to be accountability for their crimes. The House has a duty to make the case here and if some GOP senators want to weasel out, make them own that vote. Don't let pundits and "strategists" talk you out of doing your damn job.

Just a periodic, friendly reminder that we could actually avoid all this by not caring who’s attracted to, who’s having sex with who, who’s marrying who, let alone believing any of it should matter in public policy. We could just all mind our own business and all have rights. ✨

Regarding the whole issue of who ordered the slowdown of Starlink in Ukraine: Fuck em both - Trump & Musk. Fuck em both. The bottom line is that both Elon Musk and Donald Trump are actively helping Putin kill Ukrainian civilians. Both Musk and Trump have blood on their hands. Fuck em both.

NEW: High schoolers in Culver City, in the Los Angeles region, pushed a ballot measure four years ago to lower the voting age in local elections to 16. The measure failed by only (and coincidentally) 16 votes. They're trying again this year with a new ballot measure that'd lower voting age to 16:

Fugazi performing "Brendan 1" Live on the 7th of August, 1993 at the outdoor Sylvan Theater on the Mall in Washington DC for the 'Concert For Justice' on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of MLK's historic March On Washington. Fugazi's music is the product of pure, unfiltered rage and tension.

Kids, back in my day we didn’t have autotune. If you couldn’t sing, they made you play the bass, and usually carry the amps too. That was your lot in life, and you just accepted it
